PBF Coordinator - P4

Burundi, Bujumbura, Bujumbura - United Nations Development Programme

Background Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP:  we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a 'leave no one behind' approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and [inspiring stories.](https://www.undp.org/careers) UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks. Since the Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement signed in August 2000, Burundi has made significant progress in overcoming cycles of violent conflict in the 1970s-1990s and a protracted crisis in 2015. After his election in 2020, President Ndayishimiye has led the country towards more openness and a vision of emerging country. He has resumed relations with bilateral and multilateral partners as well as he led diplomatic efforts to reposition Burundi as key member of the East African Community. Despite these changes, the country is facing a set of structural and governance challenges that are putting pressure on its leadership and growing population. These include economic downturns, regional insecurity, trauma from past conflicts, social inequalities, widespread poverty, resource scarcity, and environmental degradation.  The PBF portfolio in Burundi aligns with the Peace capitalization National Strategy (PNCP), focusing on priorities such as community-based reintegration, social cohesion, women empowerment, conflict resolution, trauma healing, historical reconciliation, environmental conservation, and inclusive participation. To date, the PBF has invested a total of 98 million USD in Burundi and the country remains eligible for a 5-year transition period (2023-2027) after having exited the UN Peacebuilding Commission in December 2022.
